"Oliver Dowden" is trending

The first casualty of Oliver Dowden’s confected ‘culture war’ is Oliver Dowden.

Incredible that Oliver Dowden has reached his shame threshold. No one knew he had one

‘What we were hearing time and time again on the doorstep was that Oliver Dowden must go.’

I take full responsibility for the by-election defeats, for which Oliver Dowden is entirely to blame.

OK, it is a bit worrying that I can't even hang onto a sycophantic, rent-a-principle arse-licking toady like Oliver Dowden.

Live scenes as No 10 frantically tries to find someone to replace Oliver Dowden on today’s interview circuit:

As I’ve been saying for weeks, Boris Johnson and his government will be just fine if that scourge of the public *checks notes* Oliver Dowden resigns. That’ll absolutely do it, a man most voters have never heard of “taking responsibility” - general election will be a doddle now

Oliver Dowden campaigned to remain in the EU. Could that be why he selected a remainer for the Wakefield election? Ridiculous given that Wakefield is a firmly leave constituency. He's gone before he was pushed.

James O'Brien asks how anyone can still support Boris Johnson who keeps coming back 'like an unflushable item', after his party's chairman Oliver Dowden resigned. @mrjamesob

Of course The Convict wouldn’t resign – that’s for little people like Dowden | John Crace https://t.co/bm6uP7YRyT

There was no more enthusiastic prosecutor of Boris Johnson's cynical and deeply unpleasant culture war than Oliver Dowden so it is right that he has accepted his share of responsibility for driving away decent voters from the Conservative party. https://t.co/JbpoMhrXJk

There's no honour and no principle in Oliver Dowden's resignation, or any of them who might go at this point. Pure fear of losing their own seats/power. Self-serving to the last. No surprise when you consider how Dowden stoked culture wars merely for electoral benefit.

Oliver Dowden is a penis I can't accept Tories calling him a decent man with integrity His resignation is about self preservation & was backing Boris to the hilt of his bellend only last week While the unflushable turd Johnson won't leave No.10, it's a damning blow #gtto

@RishiSunak @OliverDowden "I’m sad that my colleague and friend @OliverDowden took the decision to resign this morning." At least Oliver Dowden did the honourable thing and he of course - unlike you and the Eton mess - wasn't found to have broken the criminal law. When can we expect your resignation?

Lee Anderson to replace Oliver Dowden. He appeals to the public, straight talking, can handle the media and stands up to the opposition.

Oliver Dowden should be replaced as Chairman of the Conservative Party by a determined and patriotic Brexiteer, @BorisJohnson, and the head of candidates Gareth Fox must be ousted immediately and replaced by another enthusiastic Brexiteer! https://t.co/3OGT2W9E6Z

Ben Elliot the nephew of Camilla and the current co-chair- of the Conservative party. A guy that has been at the heart of links between the party and Russian oligarch's money is likely to replace Oliver Dowden.

Tory MPs are urging Johnson to quit. Not because he’s caused a catastrophic Brexit, a resulting cost of living crisis, with the UK economy in meltdown… No, they’re afraid of losing their cushy, lucrative seats. #JohnsonOut152 #ToryPoverty https://t.co/OGecPY5SJ8

@DawnDawniew62 @VAS6323 @paulabearthe2nd @sandieshoes Oliver Dowden hasn’t helped, bloody drama queen! He has just added more fuel to the fire, given more doubt for the older Conservatives to worry about! He should be ashamed of himself, hang his head in shame, bloody woose! Why couldn’t he stand by Boris as he should🐍

Oliver Dowden’s resignation puts Boris Johnson in dangerous territory https://t.co/1H4TVV5VHj

“I genuinely, genuinely don’t think the way forward in British politics is to focus on issues of personalities" says the man with no talent, who was made leader of his party solely because Tory MPs thought voters liked his personality. https://t.co/RWUwqSaffb

Self Serving Tory MPs realise that their parliamentary seat is about as safe as a bunny rabbit with a python, ….if Johnson remains in power. https://t.co/RJDJWNoQMy

He had the appearance of someone who had gone 10 rounds with himself and lost. Collecting two black eyes en route. The Rwanda Panda. Call me silly, but 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Of course The Convict wouldn’t resign – that’s for little people like Dowden | John Crace https://t.co/s2Lb28AqBw
